Today's quilt is
another great way to repurpose scraps, or useful remnants, from other
projects. I cut 3½”
squares of cream homespun cotton, then bordered it on two sides with
2½” strips of mixed bright
colors. Old fashioned cream and black print 5” squares were cut to
alternate with those blocks.
Corners is a
fresh vintage style version of the attic window pattern. At 41”
square, it could be used for a baby quilt, table mat, or wall
hanging. Backing is a tan and cream stripe with scattered navy and
dark red triangles. Quilting in a light tan thread follows the
angles across the quilt. I used Nature's Touch 80/20 cotton batting
for a slight loft. Stitching on it was smooth and easy with a
walking foot.
So many projects
planned, and it seems like so little time! Yeah, I know I'm retired
but we always have things to do and places to go. No boredom around
here! There's something new around every corner. I always try to enjoy the journey, whether I'm mowing grass,
cleaning house, or sewing a quilt.
Life is short.
Time is fast.
No replay.
No rewind.
So
enjoy
every
moment
as it comes.
